TRAVEL RESOURCES

Welcome back! We have some new exciting things to share with you for the spring semester! We have a new website, online catalog, and a new search service—Ebsco Discovery! Ebsco Discovery allows you to search all of our resources from one convenient search box. It searches our books, journal articles, ebooks, audio books, videos and so much more. For more information about Discovery and a quick how-to guide click here.

Our new visual Library Catalog has some great new account features and more search result refining options. To learn more, check-out our how-to guide here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We’re celebrating the New Year by taking a look back at some of our favorite resources and events from last year.

Are you teaching a course abroad or going on vacation? Buhl has partnered with the Office of International Education this month to feature some great resources on travel, country culture, and history to help prepare you for your next jet setting adventure! Stop in and check them out and learn more about the OIE on their website. We are partnering with Campus Ministries next month with a display on resources for their Focus Week events February 8th—12th. Read more in February’s newsletter!

We were very excited to add over 2,000 books from the Earhart Foundation to our collection, We also added some artwork to our building. Stop in to see replicas of the WWII posters found in the library in the TLC Hallway. We celebrated Autism Awareness Month by donating supplies to aid the Mercer School District’s Autistic Support Classroom, sent thank you cards to local veterans, raised over $500 for ICO Trips through our used book sale, and introduced over 300 students to the library and our resources at our Open House. If you want to look at more of what we shared in 2015, check-out our Facebook page, Twitter and past newsletters. We’re really looking forward to what 2016 has to offer. Happy New Year!
